#GeorgetownTraditions

Not sure if you heard this today, but the Georgetown University clock's hands are missing. At first, we assumed it was a Syracuse fan fulfilling his or her birthright of destroying everything Hoya related. But it turns out, this "tradition" has been going on for some time.

From the Washington Post's web site, Georgetown d-bags students swiped the hands back in 2005. When their roommate - in true Georgetown backstabbing form - turned them in, they were forced to endure a brutal punishment:

They were placed on disciplinary probation for a year (meaning they could get kicked out if they got in trouble again), and each had to write an essay on “more constructive university traditions,” according to the Hoya.

So, as always, we want to help these beloved Georgetown students (read: we absolutely do not want to help you), by assembling our own list of "more constructive Georgetown traditions."

Like we said in the intro post, we're not going to bore you with long-form narrative over here. If you want that, head over to Grantland. Here's a brief intro to try to convince you to trust us (hint: you probably shouldn't). If you don't hate me after reading this, follow me on Twitter:@CusePulpTashmo

I don't believe in tweeting (Ed. Note - Now he does @CusePulpDesoto) and I'm not about to let you peruse my facebook with the rest of the creepers. What I will do, though, is what I do best. Bitch, moan and make outrageously exaggerated comments about Syracuse sports, like “Doug Marrone is the greatest humanitarian in all the world, and his sharts bring about significantly more good than Bono.”
